A commission, of which Prince Korakin is Pre sidents has been appointed at St. Peters burgh, to draw up regulations for a general mourning. The Russian Amlnmador at Stockholm re. ceived the news of the death of the Emperor of ausNia on the 16th. The King and the Crowo Prince of Sweden were' deeply affected by il. The friendship (say, the accounts) which united the King with the late Emperor, and the impor tant consequences which have flowed from their union, particularly contributed to enhance his Majesty's grief. HAGUE, DEC. 28.—The day before yesterday, at two in the afternoon, his Majesty gave a pri vate audience to the Chevalier D'Abruee Lima, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten tiary of his Most Faithful Majesty, who, on this occasion, expressing the friendly sentiments of his august sovereign towards his Majesty, pre sented the Grand Cross, uniting the Orders of Christ, of St. Bento d'A viz, and of Si.

No farther particulars are given. (No news of such an oven( had been received at A MSterdam by the shorter channel, through S witzet land and France.) FRENCH LMIINS81( TO 1 3 1:1t6I A.,.--The Viscount. DEfiIIASSY us de RICIICNIONT reached Tanris in the month of May, and was there received with distinction by the Hereditary .Prince of Persia.— On the !-'2d of J one he set out for Teheran, where he arrived on the 17th. On this route the land gradually rises till the traveller reaches the mono. tains of Tcharaf and Catlanguer, the summits of which are covered nith perpetual snow. The part passed over by the French Ambassador and his suite was seven hundred toises from the level of the sea. On arriving at Te.. heron, M. de liichernont was received ill apli ft mews prepared for Irian at the house of Ahoul iia san Khan, lately Ambassador in England and France, and now Minister for Fo reign Affairs. A few days afterwards he had formal and solemn audience of the Shah himself, to which he was introdoced with much pomp mid rerernotty, bearing with him a letter from Charles X.:to Fait y Ali Sloth. The Shah received him sitting on a throne, covered with jewels. The If all 'of Audience was exit emely magnificent. Near the Shah stood the Grandees of his Court gorgeously attired, one ben ring the Royal Diadem, another the Scimitar, n third the Shield, and fourth the Sceptre...oo the shield was an emerald of extraordinary dimensions, and ow. the Shales bracelets were two of the largest diamonds known. Putty Ali Shah is 66 years of age, and remarkable for a long beard, which is the ad 7 miration of Ida KU lkjects, covering his face a jlllO5l to the ey PA, and flowing down to his girdle. The audience lasted a quarter of an hour, and • the Ambassador was reronducted home with the same pomp with which he had been ,introduced. The Shah coeferred en M. De 4ichemont the Order of the Lion and of the Sufi ►of the second class. The day after this ceremony the Ambassador was-attueked with a serious ness ; • but a subsequent Teter of the 3d of August stated • that he had recovered sufficiently to begin his journey front Teheran for trpuham, whence he meant to proceed to the Persian Gulf and Bombay.

A LB U NI . The prevailing taste in private circles, at pre sent, seems to be a rage for collecting scraps in print or manuscript, 'to depoSit in a book styled an ALBUM. Books, therefore, are ex. pressly formed for the reception of wandering fragments in verse or prose, ncrtnatter•w hat the subject, or who may be,the author. These re. positories of fleeting trifles that would otherwise sink into the sullen waves of oblivion, are thus preserved, and are found to he admirable helps to, convOrsittion, morning or evenings, 'when dull pauses occur, subjects become 'tiresome, or have been amply discussed. ThiS fashion chiefly prevails among the ladies. Hence it is proper, that, like books in general, they should possess a title.page, and we Have just met with a set of prints, engraved on stone, us appears by a gentleman named MILL, an amateur artist, who in spirit, accuracy, and taste, may fairly stand in competition with the regular professors of the graphic art in works of this description. The first of these prints represents an old woman in the form of a Beggar, bearing on her wallet an inscription, stating that 64 The smallest SCaArs will be acceptable." At the bottom is the up. propriate line from The Winter's 1 ale, 66 A Snupper.udof unconsidered ttifles." The second print displays a pretty Gipsey Girl, calculated to steal hearts as well as other matters, with two children in a bag behind, and " Seem's" on it as the inscription, with the following stanza below : " O'er hill and dale with children twain, Food (for the mind) intent 'to gain, I wander forth forlorn Then, courteous p;entlefolks, perhaps, You'll give some literary scraps Aly Marvin to adorn." The next Print represents an old beggar man in a ragged garb to excite cmnpassion, %visit it label before and a quOtation from Hamlet— V , • • " A thing of shreds and patches." • The next of the series exhibits a group of gro teque animals' feeding a sow, and is styled David's sow. Then follows an illustration of the old song, it Sir Frog he would a Wooing go, Whether his mother would let him or no, &c." This is a very whi ms i ca l seem!. Sir Frog, mounted on his charger, a portly lizard, ac coutred with arms and a bull-rush spear, is pur sued by his angry mother, issuing from her weedy mansion. The remaining two prints, like the latter two, seem to be intended as intermediate embellishments of the ALBUM, one entitled, The Phrenologist, gives a ludicrous figure of a Professor of that ridiculous Science, rxa mining the head of a female, in order to discover her characteristic Lumps, while three men, with skulls of a very extraordinary formation, are waiting to undergo the same fanciful operation. " Last scene of all" displays a Concert, one per. sou performing au accompaniment on the piano'. forte to another who is singing. A groups' of In dies, entunoured with the sounds, are expressing their feelings by rapturous attitudes. The whale of these 'Prints are marked by a lively imagina. lion, are pregnant..wit It humour, clod are well co• loured. The set is obviously intended as . a Christmas Present, for the fair collectors of scat. tered literary trines, and are well designed to embellish the pages of their several A.Lnests. SiNour.Aic CLACUMSTANCE: 7 4 Clays ago we received information, on which we can depend, (but we are sorry in the mean time that it is so imperfect), of a singular circumstance, of which the following are the leading traits : A young woman, it native of Greenwich, who bed, married a German Baron, and resided some time in a town in France, died and left two children —the father likewise died, and the children were left in a destitute state; they bad been placed at a boarding school. before their parents' death, but the teacher, as no one appeared to dein) them or offered to deftay the charges of their education, turned them out, and, but for the humanity of an Englieh merchant, they must have begged.:... The gentleman took them home, and utter they bad remained a Short tim e w ith hi m, a person appeared, and having oh, tamed an interview o f one o f hi e c l er i cs or servants; Offered him 4,000 francs to murder, or otherwise put Out of the way, the two children ; bet informant cannot at preeent say ate tiler any reason was assigned, but it is supposed, he was the children's tirade. The person to whom the offer was made pre inmediate information; the transaction became the sub. ject of investigation before a French Court ; but by ft palpable corruption the ends of justice were frustrated, and the person was discharged. The g ent l eman who had taken the children under his care, fearful of future consequence*, judged it moat prudent to send them to England. A person passed through Dover, a' few days ago, on his way to Greenwich with the two children, in search of their mother's relatives.—( Cinque Path Herold.) NO GuNs.--Notttithstatiding the many in tlent victims that have been seriously wounded in our neigh bourhood, from these infernalmachines, we find they are still employed to shoot, without discrimination, whoever may come within the range of their destructive operation. It is not quite a year wince we had to mention the wounding of a 'poet. boy, who had gone into the Car Wood, belonging to. the demesne of Walton Ilan, to recover a stray sheep. A still more distress ing came, inasmuch as the wounds have been more desperate and the labour of tho sufferer is of more value, occurred in the same preserves on Saturday last. A youth, named William Lloyd, employed in the factory of Mesers. German anti and whose labour was the chief support of a widoWed mother, went into the wood ia question, during the dinner-hour, and coming in contact with the hidden snare of a spring-gun, was dreadful, wounded about the legs. Some of the !duns .with whieb the gun was charged have been extracted, but others re; mein in the flesh and about the bone., which it is impossible to' draw one; and Amid the wounda finally heal up, it is greatly feared the youth will be a cripple for life. It' neither battle.: pity, nor a sense of what is due to the outraged feelings of. the public, are to have any effect in procuring the abolition of these murderous instruments,, perhaps the fear of legal.conse quences may, in the end, lead to their disuse. If death were to ensue in an y of Cites,: cases, we know not by what; . process. of legal; subtilty I.nyjurymati could recthicile it to his con science to bring in a verdict of justifiable homicide. We take it, that if • any person were to shoot another by hand, •merely because he happenzd to tread upon a certain spot in a:.field or wood, no law ut trespass would save him from' the punishment due to murder or manslaughter; and he must be a clever casuist, indeed, who could point out the.rnorat difference be tween-this made of destroying felloweereatur e and that of so placing a deadly inatrument as to produce the same elfeetwitb equal •certainty. Entertaining these views, we think it for from improbable, that a case may occur to call for a verdict of aggravated manslaughter, for which it would be the duty of a judge to sentence the etiminst setter of a spring-gun to transperta tion beyond the seas. _( Preston Chronicle.), HONESTI( _....Mr. I hro lAA( NICOL, ral tprer in Forfar, was in 1815 under the necessity . of compounding whit his creditors.
